Abstract: A process for producing a polyoxymethylene copolymer having improved thermal stability and/or a high degree of polymerisation comprises copolymerising trioxane as a main monomer with a cyclic ether or a cyclic formal as a comonomer in the presence of 1 x 10⁻³% to 1 x 10⁻²% by mole (based on the total amount of the monomers) of a catalyst comprising boron trifluoride or a coordination compound thereof, wherein unwanted decomposition and side reactions are controlled by keeping to below 1 x 10⁻²% by mole (based on the total amount of the monomers) the total content of impurities such as would give short product chains and/or unstable terminal groups in the copolymer, and cooling the obtained product to a temperature of 45°C or below within 30 seconds after the completion of the copolymerisation to deactivate the catalyst.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for converting image data from row format into column format and a printer incorporating the same. A conversion circuit, which is responsive to writes to a first address space, is provided for converting the image data from the row format into the column format. A CPU writes the row format image data to the first address space whereupon the conversion circuit converts it to the second format. The CPU then writes image data to a second address space. In accordance with an unwind flag set by the CPU, either the converted image data or the original image data is stored in a memory. After the data has been written to memory, the CPU initiates a DMA transfer of the image data to a printer engine.

Abstract: An optical waveguide device formed out of a material the refractive index of which has anisotropy, and an optical instrument using the same device. The device comprises an electrooptic single-crystal substrate on which are formed a first core portion the refractive index of which is higher than that of the substrate with respect to both ordinary and extraordinary rays of light, and a second core portion the refractive index of which is higher than that of the substrate with respect to extraordinary rays of light only. The overlapping region of the first and second core portions constitutes a double mode waveguide for extraordinary rays of light. This optical waveguide device is used in place of a pinhole element in an optical system in a confocal scanning optical microscope so as to guide illuminating light into an object to be detected, and to guide the reflected light from the object into a detector. This microscope is provided with a polarization conversion element for use in setting the polarization direction of illuminating light different from that of reflected light. The optical waveguide device functions as a single-mode waveguide with respect to illuminating light, and as a double mode waveguide with respect to reflected light.

A first carry chain circuit selectively generates a first carry-out signal indicating whether the addition of a second plurality of bits together with a carry from the addition of the first plurality of bits results in a carry, and a second carry chain circuit selectively generates a second carry-out signal indicating whether the addition of the second plurality of bits without a carry from the addition of the first plurality of bits results in a carry. Selection circuitry, coupled to the carry indicating circuit and to the first and second carry chain circuits, selects either the first carry-out signal or the second carry-out signal in response to the carry-in signal. The first and second carry chain circuits and/or the selection circuitry each includes a first transistor connected to a second transistor so that the first and second transistors may be initially biased in a nonconducting state when a first node is at a first voltage potential and a second node is at a second voltage potential, the first voltage potential being different from the second voltage potential.

Abstract: The pressure roller possesses a roller core (1) and a covering (3) attached to the roller core (1) and consisting of elastomeric material. It is characterised by an addition of finely distributed electrically conductive material, for example metal powder, at least in the region of the circumferential surface of the covering (3). The electrically conductive material can be contained in a coating (4) arranged on the circumferential surface of the covering (3). The pressure roller is intended for cooperation with a drivable counter-roller (5) for the movement of fibre material. The addition of electrically conductive material counteracts electrostatic charges, primarily when the charges may be derived, and thus reduces the risk that fibres from the fibre material to be moved are wound on to the pressure roller during operation. <IMAGE>
